1. Heroes Anub'arak Works Well With

In this section, we will look at the heroes that work particularly well with
Anub'arak.

1.1. Rehgar

Rehgar excels at healing melee Heroes;
since Anub'arak is likely to require healing when engaging, a healer with strong
burst healing and an on demand shield that also provides area of effect damage
(Lightning Shield + Earth Shield)
has everything a sticky tank could ask for. Earthbind Totem
can even be used to improve Anub'arak and his Beetle's' uptime.

1.2. Kerrigan

Kerrigan and Anub'arak form a formidable diving team.
Their basic abilities play off of each other extremely well due to their
long and reliable combined crowd control potential. They can they deal an
impressive amount of area of effect damage when combining their respective area
of effect Heroic abilities, Locust Swarm and
Maelstrom. However, coordination is key.

1.3. Jaina

Jaina can easily capitalise on a good
setup, and Anub'arak provides the long-range crowd control that
Jaina wants follow up with her burst. Anub'arak can also provide some
instant peeling for her through Cocoon.
The two make for an intimidating roaming duo.

2. Heroes Anub'arak Is Countered By

In this section, we will look at the heroes that counter Anub'arak
particularly well.

2.1. Valla

Valla is the master of kiting.
Vault is fast, has a short cooldown, and can be used to
avoid your abilities. Multishot, combined with her
Frost Shot talent, means that you or your Beetles will
basically never be in range to attack her. Her Strafe
Heroic ability has the unique property of killing Cocoon's
cocoon near-instantly.

2.1.1. How To Play Against Valla

Unlike against other Assassins, you do not want to end up in an isolated
situation against Valla, unless her Vault ability is on
cooldown. Specifically paying attention to her dashing animation will allow you
to initiate on her. Consider using Cocoon
against her as well — she is a relatively high value target, and will not
be able to break it from within the cocoon.

2.2. Sonya

Sonya is potentially the game's strongest duelist. In lane, she can bully
Anub'arak with ease and leeches life in an area of effect thanks to her
Whirlwind, even punishing Beetles as a side effect.
During team fights, Sonya excels at killing divers that
have to take her damage, which is what Anub'arak does. Her
Wrath of the Berserker Heroic ability gives her a 50%
reduction to crowd control duration, rendering
Impale ineffective against her.
